naked except for an
apron and gold barbells in her nipples. “This is Ellen,” he said.
    “Hello,”
Ellen said, holding out her hand.
    Jane gave
her an enormous smile “You’re Annie’s aunt, right? I’ve heard so much about
you. I’m thrilled you could stop on your way.”
    It’s hard
to rebuff a genuine welcome and Ellen wasn’t about to try. Besides, she liked
Jane on sight, and when Jane offered a sherry while she finished getting lunch
together, Ellen gladly took a stool by the countertop. John and Alan
disappeared and Ellen saw a chance to get a word in without being overheard.

Chapter Three
    Jane beat
her to it. “Look, I bet neither of them mentioned this so I’m going to warn
you. Annie and Mark are due to arrive any minute.”
    Shit!
“Well, I never, I somehow doubt they forgot to mention it.”
    Jane shook
her head. “It was Mark’s idea. Not that Alan or John tried to talk him out of
it.”
    “Oh dear. Inevitable eventually, I suppose, given how close John is to
Mark and the rest of you.” She sighed. “Try as I will, I still see Annie as a
schoolgirl in pigtails, bottle green blazer and straw hat. I have a difficult
time seeing her as a grown woman, and a sexual grown woman at that. Silly of
me, I know.” The rather good sherry had loosened her tongue.
    Jane was
staring, mouth gaping. Oh dear! What had she said wrong? “You know, I’ve never
thought of it that way,” Jane said. “Mark’s reasoning was the flip side, so to
speak. Apparently, Annie is worried about you and John, the idea was to get her
to accept John isn’t exerting some sort of compulsion over you.”
    “Dear
saints in heaven! I should have gone to see Annie but I’ve been so busy with
moving and work and…oh damn! Silly girl! I know John scares her a bit…”
    “Not just
Annie. I’ve been with him and, darn, he’s unrelenting.”
    “That’s
what I like about him. But Annie said much the same. I suppose I should be
thoroughly thankful I won’t have to fight either of you for him.”
    That got a
smile on the girl’s face. No! She had to start thinking of Jane and Annie as
women. They were after all.
    “No,” Jane
agreed, “he’s not my sort of Dominant, but also, you’re not what I expected.
All my aunts are old ladies.”
    A
compliment, Ellen supposed. “My sister, Annie’s mother, is fifteen years older
than I am. I was one of those tagalong children turning up after our parents
thought they were through with nappies and school fees and riding lessons.”
    Jane
nodded, absorbing that, it seemed, and then said, “I wanted to warn Annie that
you were here but that will rather screw up the men’s plans.”
    “A silly idea like that needs to be kiboshed ,
in my opinion. But there’s not much point in calling Annie now that she’s on her way. We’ll
just have to take care of it when they get here. It’s just lunch, right? No sex
play or games. At least according to John.”
    Jane
chuckled. “Since John tends to run the show when he’s around,
then yes. I suppose. All I was told was to get lunch for six and who was
coming.”
    “How about
I help? May I lay the table or slice bread or something?”
    “The
table’s laid, but if you’d like to put the strawberries in the dishes, that
would help.” Jane opened the fridge and produced a bowl. “Dishes are the glass
one over there.” She nodded toward the counter.
    “I’ll be
glad to do that much.”
    “You
know,” Jane went on as she sliced a joint of cold roast beef and arranged slices
on a platter. “John is different with you. He’d got a twinkle in his eye I’ve
never seen before.”
    “Oh that!
That appears when he’d devising some new torture or sex play.”
    Jane
laughed. “You have changed him.”
    As he’d
changed her, but she wasn’t going into that with a woman she’d just met.
“People change each other. It’s part of life. The best thing to do is hope it’s
a change for the better.” Cripes, she was waxing
